Our Awesome 4-day Weekend!

This weekend was AMAZING for us! I've never had so much fun packed into 4 days before!!!

Friday, we went to the driving range and on our way home, our friends called and wanted to do another babysitting swap! So we took em up on it and dropped the kids off after naps. Paul and I went on our 1st Virginian 9-hole golfing date :) we had SO much fun! Then we went downtown and ate, then off to pick up the kids as it was late!


Saturday, we spent the day cleaning the house, everyone chipped in, it was great! We got all the garage sale tubs put back up into the attic and even got some help from our little hands with picking up and vacuuming! We felt like a true team! Then we got a call from our friends that one of their kids was sick, so our babysitting duties were canceled for the night. We ended up taking the kids to a nearby town to their fireworks after making a quick stop at Dairy Queen.

After that mess was cleaned up we headed to the show and Kenna acted SO afraid of the fireworks, hiding in my lap under a blanket the whole time, while Noah LOVED the display! We bought him a glow sword, which he overused this weekend, to the point where it broke! At least it was well used haha!


Thus, another late night. So Sunday, we woke up, went to church and rushed home to take some well needed nappage! Paul left at 3pm to help set-up for Charlottesville fireworks, which our church was hosting all the games and children's acitivites. Then the kids and I joined at 530pm, where we blew up balloons, set-up face painting, basketball, etc stations.

After all was setup, the show was on it's way. Paul took the kids around to all the games and bouncy houses, they had a blast (while I continued to blow up about 800 helium balloons!). Then the fireworks!!! This time, Kenna was BRAVE - she actually watched them! She said she "loooved" fireworks today, so, good! We really had a good time! The end of the night came late again, thank goodness for those extra long naps earlier!

Monday came and the real fun began - KING'S DOMINION!!! Our friends, the Adkins, and Hannah came with us as it was Military Appreciation day! We had so much fun riding rides and picnicing, swimming and relaxing in our cabana. Lots of sunscreen and water was required as it hit 100 degrees that day, but we enjoyed every minute of it!

We actually got home fairly early, compared to the previous days, so we all got some rest before the work week!

I can't keep describing how much fun we all had this weekend! EVERY weekend should be a 4th of July 4-day weekend :)
